Cascaded or distributed module-level inverters are becoming increasingly desirable for photovoltaic applications. The authors have demonstrated an AC-stacked topology that allows each inverter to operate completely autonomously from all the others. The only required communications is a low-bandwidth synchronization signal communicated from the point-of-grid-connection. This paper describes the communications...
Grid-tied Photovoltaic (PV) inverters are required to have harmonics mitigation control to reduce harmonics distortion on the output current caused by the impact of grid background harmonics. In this paper, a decentralized control strategy for reduction of the impact of distorted grid voltage on the AC-stacked PV inverter architecture is proposed. Two control schemes with the selective harmonics mitigation...
In this paper, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) architecture for micro-scale photovoltaic (PV) energy harvesting systems is presented. A switching DC-DC boost converter is used to provide the required voltage for the circuits of the ultra-low-power application. The MPPT tracks different illumination intensities through changing the input impedance of the boost converter. The proposed technique...
The renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and fuel cell sources has widely used in the smart gird to reduce the power loss in the conventional central generation. However, these sources usually operated at low output voltage levels. This paper proposes single phase bidirectional inverter is used for voltage regulation which gives less voltage ripple. Proposed quasi - Y source converter has many...
Double line frequency ripple (2ω ripple) power inherently exists in single phase dc-ac or ac-dc pulse width modulation converters because of instantaneous power unbalance between the dc and ac side. In order to achieve stable operation and maintain a high maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficiency, traditional single-phase quasi-Z-source inverter (QZSI) for photovoltaic application uses large...
Categorized as one of the renewable energies, photovoltaic (PV) system has great potential due to the availability of the sun in most part of the world. This project proposes a high performance, single stage single phase inverter topology for grid connected PV systems. The proposed configuration converts the solar panel's dc power into high quality ac power for feeding into mains, while tracking maximum...
For most linear loads, finding the maximum power point by using the traditional perturb-and-observe algorithm to track the maximum output current of the DC-DC converter in a PV system is a proven technique. However, when the load is nonlinear and exhibits negative impedance, traditional methods might no longer be applicable. This paper presents a method to overcome this challenge. The proposed maximum...
Performance of photovoltaic systems greatly depends on climate conditions. Apart from values of solar radiation, its variations can also have an influence on energy yield from a PV-system. In less favourable climate conditions (e.g. in central Europe), highly varying radiation is very frequent and the electrical converters (i.e. inverters, DC-DC converters) should be able to follow the irradiance...
